Book Reviews of Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
Book Review: Convincing work. Perhaps the tides have turned.
Summary: 4 Stars
The most important and aspect of the book is suprisingly not the case made for ancient ruins on both the Moon (incl. an ancient skull of either a humanoid or android origin) and Mars, nor NASA and JPLs unscientific behaviour, nor the explosive last chapter about the Apollo 17 mission and its' classified elements.
Instead, it is the slam dunk case for NASA as an agency that is ultimately part of the vast defence strucure of the United States and powerful aerospace firms. It appears non-scientific in operation, has the structure of an intelligence agency and is ruled by politics. This wasn't news to me but I have never seen it presented this convincingly, and it just goes to show what both Martian Anomaly and UFO researchers have been saying all along: These things are covered up by provisions of the national security state, and it is the greatest threat to our freedom and future.
The chapters that detail the suppression of free energy, the lost discoveries of Faraday, Tesla and Maxwell are most interesting. It has been documented elsewhere how Oliver Heaviside pretty much destroyed the important 'scalar' and 'torsion-field' elements that were the original intention of Maxwells equations. The authors of Dark Mission however, also make a connection between the geometric relationships of the Cydonia artifacts, and mathematics of higher dimensinal space and how it can be tapped by us and is in fact tapped by all rotating bodies. They even give examples of this model on the planets of our Solar System.
As far as the argument for a delibarate "occult" reference system of NASA launches and landings (particualrly based on the celestial motions of the constellation Orion, the star Sirius and the so-called "Northern Swastika"), I don't feel like I know quite enough to say that the writers are right on that one. Certainly, there are elements in the early days of NASA that have some curious belief systems related to Osiris/Seth/Horus of pre-dynastic Egypt, but do those currents survive to this day? Decide for yourself, and perhaps look into some of Joseph P. Farrell's work.
Certainly there are things in this book I dont think are true, such as the proposed "mind wipe" by hypnosis so that the astronauts would not reveal certain things they allegedly saw on the moon. As far as I am concerned, and I know that Edgar Mitcell agrees because he said so at a convention I attended, this is baloney. Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.
The authors make lazy (and thus, irrespinsible) use of italics which can be annoying for experienced readers - I know didn't like it.
I really recommend this book, just know that the repetitions and the long descriptions of the troubled relationship betweenn NASA and independent researchers is very much worthwile. I also recommend that you check out the very interesting discussion of this book on the US Amazon site.
